What is \u201cpainted\u201d in this work is a sky of blue-green and rows of standing trees. However, the entire frame is shrouded in a deep fog and all that can truly be confirmed are a series of leafless branches near the center. The term \u201cpaint\u201d may be inappropriate for most photographic works of art. However, when one considers Tanno\u2019s practice of using photographed landscapes as raw materials which he can combine and edit, the resulting artwork can only be described as having been \u201cpainted\u201d by the artist\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n
Though Tanno couples these production methods with inward elements, one could also say that the artwork is an attempt to break free of the confines of the individual psychic landscape and approach a terrain that is deeper and more primordial. There is also the sense that such terrain exists in close proximity to the Japanese aesthetic concept of wabi-sabi.<\/p>\n
The landscape that sits before our eyes is one of stillness and desolation. However, that state has been crystallized by the integration of Tanno\u2019s careful and expansive interventions, and one cannot help but feel the traces that remain of his spirit.<\/p>\n
Encased in hushed silence but never losing their beauty, Tanno\u2019s works hold the potential of arriving at the Japanese ideal of yugen, the aesthetic of the delicately beautiful and subtly profound.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
